It is funny how all my post partum triumphs also have a negative side to them. Here are some examples:
The Good: Look I just buttoned my pre-pregnancy jeans!
The Bad: Oh dear, look at that muffin top.
The Good: My baby just slept all day and I got so much done!
The Bad: It is 3 in the morning and my baby has been awake for the past 2 hours. Why won't she sleep?
The Good: Yes! I don't have to wake up and pee 2-3 times a night.
The Bad: Now I get to wake up and feed my baby 2-3 times a night.
The Good: My belly is no longer huge!
The Bad: Now I no longer have a good excuse for looking fat.
The Good: My baby has the most beautiful hair.
The Bad: She wakes herself up by pulling it out.
Life is just strange like that. We always think the grass is greener on the other side when really we are just called to be content. I am truly grateful to have my baby here and out of me. Being a parent is challenging and I have a feeling that it is only going to get more tough.

Nursery Pictures
On my due date, my mom came over and helped me get my nursery somewhat in order. Then after the baby was born, Kelsey came and helped me do even more. It still needs a few finishing touches such as a lamp shade (I promise I've been looking for one that would work but I can't find the right one) and painting Kira's dresser. I thought I would have a couple of months to work on it before Kira moved in but my husband banished her to her new room a mere 3 weeks after she was born. He claims that it is so I'll sleep better. ; )
Anyways, here are a couple of pictures that Kelsey took while she was here:
Who doesn't love some good old-fashioned bunting?

Remember this wall art?
The piece of art on the far right is actually a cross stitch that Aaron's mom did for him as a baby.
That window is about to have curtains. I just keep forgetting to ask Aaron to hang them. Notice the beautiful quilt on the back of the crib! Kelsey made that for Kira. Love it!
Not pictured: The green and white paper lanterns hanging over the bed.
